There is ground for faint suspicion
that the running of Col. Fred Grant
for secretary of state in New York
was the work of scheming republican
leaders who desired to bury out of
sight the boom of Hon. Robert r,

The result of the election in New

country to standstill Baraboo has
an undisputed claim to organizing the

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The Chicago Times.


The elections of New York emphat-
ically rejected the proposition to estab-
lish precedent for making office
holding hereditary by giving +. D.
Grant the position of secretary of
state solely because he was the son of
of his father. The defeat of the
project was all the more laudable be-
tause Mr.. Grant was avowedly put for
ward as feeler to test the popular
inclination. If he had been elected,
the schemers behind him contemplated
nominating him as the tail of a pres
idential ticket next year, with Robert
T. Lincoln, another son of his father,
at the head. This program, sired by a
syndicate of Scheming and corrupt
partisans and damned by the senti-
mental idiocy of a collection of i'm
beetle hero worShippers, has been hap
PLY strangled at its birth by the stall
wart common sense of the people of
New York.
The New York sun.
Against a united democracy the
heather rage in vain.
The Plymouth Reporter
President Cleveland, has done more
TO popularize civil service reform than
all of his republican predecessors. The
laws and regulations governing the
civil service have been strictly and
zealously complied with in all respects.
The New York World.
The result of the election in this
state settles three points as thoroughly
as as any political events can be set
tied in advance, President Cleveland
will be renominated by his party; Mr..
Blaine will not be renominated. Mr..
George will not control the election
next year. New York is the pivotal
state. Mr.. Cleveland's friends have
had compile triumph. They are en-
titled to the fruits of the victory.
Grover Cleveland is indeed a lucky
man and James G. Blame is dead
duck in the pit.
The New YORK Sun.
Due credit for the cohesion and con-
fidence that brought about the glorious
result of yesterday, should be given to
Grover Cleveland whose manly and
sensible letter was as timely as st was
wise.
The New York Herald.
The elections are complete tri.
umph for the administration. The vie
tory is along the whole line. The
national, state and municipal admins
trations were alike on trial, and the
verdict as regards President Cleveland,
Gov. Hill, and Mayor Hewett is, "Well
done. good and faithful servants"

Medicine has made wonderful advance
within a century. The books of promi-
nent Vermont doctor recorded from 1913
To 1870 total of 4,2Il visits, in which he
administered $50 doses of physic. 1t is
estimated. also that he drew from his pa
tients during the same period about q
hogshead full of blood. Nor was the only
fault of the medical practice Cf that time
one Of excess. In multitudes of cases the
physic was the reverse of what was
needed. This doctors practice was not
exceptional. The change since that time
amounts to n revolution.
The advance in surgery has been still
greater. The power Of anRsthctics 10 rem
der operations painless, and the power Of
iisinfectants TO prevent all suppuration,
have enabled experts to secure marvellous
results.
4 few years ago the most skillful sur
geons shrank from all operations that in-
volved the opening of the abdomen. Now
the abdomen is freely and safely opened
for difficult operations. Says Sir William
Stokes in The Lancet, in view of what
has already been done in experiments on
animals and in diseases of chest in man:
1T is no wild flight of fancy to anticipate
the time when diseased lung may be
found amenable to operative treatment
He makes a similar remark in reference
TO the brain, kidneys, liver, and spleen.
1T is not unreasonable to hope that
regions hitherto barely touched by the
operator may eventually become familiar
ground for the exercise Of his art"
In former articles we have given some
account Of surgical skill i'll restoring
severed fingers; in transplanting skin and
bone from animal to man, TO repair loss
on the part of the latter; in filling up
large wounds with sponge, which speedily
becomes organized.
Some time ago, in Paris, it being i'm
possible TO bring together the parts of
severed tendon in young mans finger,
the physician freshly cut the ends, and in
serted n piece Of tendon from young
dog, and sewed the ends together. The
operation was wholly successful. We
see, from the papers, that a similar opera
ton has just been performed in this coun-
try.-Youth's Companion.

is one of the Clcverest conjurers in Europe
When in 1889 the famous magician, Pro

gladly consented 10 teach her his tricks,
and during the following four weeks he
spent daily several hours in initiating her
as an adept of the BLACK art.
OF course these lessons took place with
locked doors, the professor having made a
point of insisting that nobody else should
be present besides his royal pupil and him
self. The queen displayed a remarkable
talent in acquiring the art, and many
were the tricks which she subsequently,
practiced on her family and attendants.

"lou will come back at the end Of three
days, Mark"
Yes. my darling; it will seem like
three centuries until see YOU again

clung to him as if she could never let
him go
This Is our first parting. Mark, and it
must DE the last You must not leave me

1t is so hard To go, Helen. ;"
He took her in his arms and kissed her
passionately, on lip, and cheek, and brow,
and then he put her gently from him and
went away, leaving her among the falling
leaves in the wind swept garden Helen
watched him TIL he was out Of sight aud
then rs she turned sadly away and went
into the house, her fearful ewes rested for
an instant ON the vine draped wall Of the
unused wing and again that Itlaccount-
able tremor passed over her
Toward evening Of the next day a letter
came for Mark. Helen held it in her
hand
''He said might open any letter that
came" she said and smiled
The address was written In a youthful
hand, and Helen kissed the name that
was So dear To her. Slowly, and still
smiling. she broke the seal and took out
the letter, written in the same childish
hand. 1t ran as follows:
DEAR PAPA-When are you coming
home' | miss you very much. Willie
has got the whooping cough, and so have
l. Mamma says you do not want to come
home. but | think you do. Mamma says
she does not send her love- but Willie and
/ do, and n kiss, too. Goodby. From
your loving daughter, ALICE"
Helen read it through from beginning
TO end with stony eyes and pale face.
When she had finished she looked at the
address again, and then burst into loud,
harsh laughter. She heard a step, and
hid the letter in her pocket
Always, afterward, they remembered
Helen's strange actions during the re-
manning two days of Marks absence She
was restless, excited and nervous, and
laughed often in that loui, harsh way
When Mark came Helen met him in the
garden, where they had parted. She was
Geadly pale, and her eyes glittered
strangely. She handed him the letter
without word He turned pale when he
saw the address. and looked at Helen.
Read it, she commanded, stamping
her foot
The dead leaves fell noiselessly, the
gray clouds drifted across the blue sky
and the autumn wind blew fitfully while
Mark read his daughters letter. When
he had finished his face was gray and old,
and once more he looked at Helen.
Again she laughed that wild, strange
laughter. She had become a raving
maniac.
Her mothers infirnity had fallen upon
her, and the unused wing would have an
other tCnant-Alice Palfrey in Frank

entire outfit and then told the clerk that a

at Levy's. would call and pay for the
clothes. The young man objected to that
kind OF an arrangement. not because Run

that the fellow was trying to work him for
the clothes
The man started to leave the store, and
the clerk. seeing Officer Nicklas passing.
called him in and stated the case to him.
The officer at once recognized the man as

Glass Feeling at Yale.

seats Of learning. From the time fresh
man enters college to the day of his gradu
alton he never tires of inscrbing his class

Of his apartments, or other places where
they would bc conspicuous. Loyalty to
one class is most eXtravagantly displayed
among the sophomores and freshmen, and
becomes less noticeable, although perhaps
just as strong, toward the end of the four
years course. In any matter in which
the interests, athletic or otherwise, of the
whole universe are involved. all class feel
ing disappears and the entire student COM
munity becomes unit in the support OF
its alma mater. A Yale man is Yale
man the country over. and, be he rich or
poor, he is welcomed by any Yale alumnus
whom he may meet with a cordiality that
admits Of no restraint and heartiness
that quickly sweeps away all barriers.

N ACCORDANCE WIN THE CONSTITU.

For nearly two years the people of this
country have been familiar with the details
of the horrible murder of the Englishpan
Prellsr IN ST. Louis hotel, by his travel
ing companion. Maxwell, another English,
man. After long and tedious delays the
courts of the state of Missouri found the
man Maxwell. after fair and impartial
trial, guilty of murder in the first degree,
hanged. On one techniaclty and another
the hanging was postponed. from time to
time. and the last date fixed WAS the 26th
day Of the pr. sent month. Now comes an
of writ of error from Chief Justice Waite
of the superior court of the Uuited
States. and the hanging Is again
postponed. There is no doubt expressed
as to the guilt OF the condemned man only
the technicality of the law set up in inter
vention of justice.
II seems from this that it Is not only net =
essary to prove that the party accused has
committed a murder. but it must also be
proven that the killing was done cnnstitu-
tionally. An exchange in referring to the
matter very pertinently remarks:
at must be acknowledged that the writ
of error seems 10 be based simply on the
ground that the murder is English, we
know IL the privilege to kill and slay is
10 be granted TO every scion acknowledging
allegiance to Queen Victoria when they
visit America, we respectfully ask all

To pass directly through our city. even
though such passage should be detrimental

sister cities in the west.
